A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Chrysler Group LLC and Cummins® welcome you as a

Cummins® turbocharged diesel-powered truck owner.

Your diesel truck will sound, feel, drive, and operate differently from a gasoline-powered truck. It is important that you read and understand this manual.

Almost 100% of the heavy duty trucks in the United

States and Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel economy, rugged durability, and high torque which permits pulling heavy loads. Cummins® engines power well over half of these trucks. Now this same technology and proven performance is yours in your truck equipped with the Cummins® turbocharged diesel engine.

You may find that some of the starting, operating, and maintenance procedures are different. However, they are simple to follow and careful adherence to them will ensure that you take full advantage of the features of this engine.

NOTE:

Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission and/or exhaust system damage.

Your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect and store information about vehicle modifications that increase horsepower and torque output such as whether or not performance-enhancing powertrain components, commonly referred to as downloaders, power boxes, or performance chips have been used.

This information cannot be erased and will stay in the system’s memory even if the modification is removed. This information can be retrieved by Chrysler Group LLC, and service and repair facilities, when servicing your vehicle.

This information may be used to determine if repair will be covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

There is a probability that the use of a “performance chip” will prohibit the engine from starting. In this instance, the vehicle will need to be serviced by a authorized dealer in order to return the vehicle to it’s factory settings.

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry

(RKE) transmitter to start the engine conveniently from outside the vehicle while still maintaining security. The system has a range of approximately 300 ft (91 m).

NOTE:

• The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.

• The remote start system will wait for the “Wait To

Start” telltale to extinguish before cranking the engine.

This allows time for the intake heater to pre-heat the incoming air, and is normal operation in cold weather.

Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center/EVIC

Warning Lights” in “Understanding Your Instrument

Panel” for further information on and “Wait To Start” telltale and pre-heat cycle.

How To Use Remote Start

All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start:

• Shift lever in PARK

• Doors closed

• Hood closed

• HAZARD switch off

• BRAKE switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)

• Ignition key removed from ignition switch

• Battery at an acceptable charge level

• RKE PANIC button not pressed

• Fuel meets minimum requirement

• Water In Fuel Indicator Light is not illuminated

• Wait To Start Light is not illuminated

WARNING!

• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or

confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon

Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.

• Keep Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters

away from children. Operation of the Remote Start

System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

The Cummins® turbocharged diesel engine does not require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal operation is allowed, providing the following recommendations are followed:

• Warm up the engine before placing it under load.

• Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged periods.

• Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent engine lugging.

• Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indicators.

• Check the coolant and oil levels frequently.

• Vary throttle position at highway speeds when carrying or towing significant weight.

NOTE:

Light duty operation such as light trailer towing or no load operation will extend the time before the engine is at full efficiency. Reduced fuel economy and power may be seen at this time.

For additional vehicle break-in requirements, refer to

“Trailer Towing” in “Starting and Operating” of the

Owners Manual.

Because of the construction of the Cummins® turbocharged diesel engine, engine run-in is enhanced by loaded operating conditions which allow the engine parts to achieve final finish and fit during the first

6,000 miles (10 000 km).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Tachometer

The tachometer indicates engine speed in Revolutions

Per Minute (RPM x 1000).

CAUTION!

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer pointer at high RPM for extended periods. Engine operation over 3200 RPM (Redline) can result in significant damage that will not be covered under warranty.

2. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

This light monitors the Anti-lock Brake System

(ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 13

If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on.

If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

3. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic (OBDII) system which monitors the emissions and engine control system. If the vehicle is ready for emissions testing, the light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on, as a bulb check, until the engine is started.

3


If the vehicle is not ready for emissions testing the light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on for 15 seconds, then blink for 5 seconds, and remain on until the vehicle is started. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the condition investigated promptly.

If this light comes on and remains on while driving, it suggests a potential engine control problem and the need for system service.

Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, see your authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the engine

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued) control system. It also could affect fuel economy and drivability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur.

Immediate service is required.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher temperatures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over flammable substances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.

4. Turn Signal Indicators

NOTE:

The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal when the turn signal lever is operated.

A continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on.

Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if either indicator remains on and does not flash, or flashes at a rapid rate.

5. Engine Coolant Temperature

This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature. The gauge pointer will likely show higher temperatures when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or in heavy stop and go traffic. If the red Warning Light turns on while driving, safely bring the vehicle to a stop, and turn off the engine. DO NOT operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.


CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads

“H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H” and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately and call an authorized dealer for service.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to

WARNING! (Continued) look under the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your

Vehicle.” Follow the warnings under the “Cooling

System Pressure Cap” paragraph.

6. Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the Anti-lock Brake System reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the

Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake

System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked.

If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed.

It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the ABS, are also equipped with

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the

ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.


The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

7. High Beam Indicator

This indicator shows that headlights are on high beam. Push the multifunction lever forward to switch the headlights to high beam, and pull toward yourself (normal position) to return to low beam.

8. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned to ON/

RUN, this light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound.

After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled, the seat belt reminder light will

flash or remain on continuously. Refer to “Occupant

Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your

Vehicle” for further information.

9. Air Bag Warning Light

This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN. If the light is either not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.

10. Engine Oil Pressure

The pointer should always indicate some oil pressure when the engine is running. A continuous high or low reading under normal driving conditions may indicate a lubrication system malfunction. Immediate service should be obtained from an authorized dealer.

If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of the gauge, the Check Gauges indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound.

11. Speedometer

The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour (mph/km/h).

12. Park/Headlight ON Indicator — If Equipped

This indicator will illuminate when the park lights or headlights are turned on.

13. Cargo Light

The cargo light will illuminate when the cargo light is activated by pressing the cargo light button on the headlight switch.

14. Fuel Gauge

Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the

ON/RUN position.

15. Vehicle Security Light — If Equipped

This light will flash at a fast rate for approximately 15 seconds, when the vehicle security alarm is arming, and then will flash slowly until the vehicle is disarmed.

16. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)


As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

3


Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the

TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the

TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a

TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

NOTE:

The TPMS telltale is also accompanied by a “Low

Tire” message in the odometer (Base Cluster), or in the

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) screen indicating “Low Tire” for EVIC enabled clusters.

17. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped

This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.

18. Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) features a driver-interactive display that is located in the instrument cluster. For further information, refer to

“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”.

19. Transmission Gear Position Indicator

The Transmission Gear Position Indicator is selfcontained within the instrument cluster. It displays the gear range of the automatic transmission.

NOTE:

The highest available transmission gear is displayed in the lower right corner of the Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC) whenever the Electronic

Range Select (ERS) feature is active. Use the +/- selector


on the shift lever to activate ERS. Refer to “Automatic

Transmission” in “Starting And Operating” for further information.

20. Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Menu

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) features a driver-interactive display that is located in the instrument cluster. For further information, refer to

“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”.

21. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator

Light — If Equipped

This light indicates that the Electronic Stability

Control (ESC) is in Partial Off or Full Off mode.

22. TOW/HAUL

The TOW HAUL button is located on the center stack upper switch bank. This light will illuminate when TOW HAUL mode is selected.

3


23. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/

Malfunction Indicator Light — If Equipped

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the

ON/RUN position. It should go out with the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles

(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.

NOTE:

The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/

Malfunction Indicator Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.

Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON, even if it was turned off previously.

The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESC activation.

24. DEF Gauge

The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of Diesel

Exhaust Fluid in the DEF tank. Diesel Exhaust Fluid

STARTING PROCEDURES

Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts.

The starter should not be operated for more than 15-second intervals. Waiting a few minutes between such intervals will protect the starter from overheating.

WARNING!

• Do not leave children or animals inside parked

vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death.

• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key

fob and lock your vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

Extreme Cold Weather

The Cummins® diesel engine is equipped with several features designed to assist cold weather starting and operation:

• The engine block heater is a resistance heater installed in the water jacket of the engine just above and behind the oil filter. It requires a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.

NOTE:

The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized MOPAR® dealer.

• A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housings aid in preventing fuel gelling. It is controlled by a built-in thermostat.

• A heated intake air system both improves engine starting and reduces the amount of white smoke generated by a warming engine.

Normal Starting Procedure – Engine Manifold

Air Temperature Above 66° F (19° C)

4. After engine start-up, check that the oil pressure warning light has turned off.

5. Allow the engine to idle about three minutes until the manifold heaters have completed the post-heat cycle.

6. Release the parking brake and drive.

NOTE:



• Automatic equipped vehicles with optional Keyless

Enter-N-Go™ – If the start button is pushed once while in park with the ignition off and driver’s foot on the brake pedal, the vehicle will automatically crank and start after the Wait to Start time has elapsed. If it is desired to abort the start process before it completes, the driver’s foot should be fully removed from the brake pedal prior to pushing the start button again in order for the ignition to move directly to off.


• If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is left ON for more than two minutes after the “Wait To Start” telltale goes out, reset the grid heaters by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position for at least five seconds and then back ON. Repeat steps 1 through 5 of

“Starting Procedure – Engine Manifold Air Temperature Below 66°F (19°C).”

Starting Procedure – Engine Manifold Air

Temperature Below 0°F (-18°C)

In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it may be beneficial to cycle the manifold heaters twice before attempting to start the engine. This can be accomplished by turning the ignition OFF for at least five seconds and then back ON after the “Wait To Start” telltale has turned off, but before the engine is started. However, excessive cycling of the manifold heaters will result in damage to the heater elements or reduced battery voltage.

4


NOTE: If multiple pre-heat cycles are used before starting, additional engine run time may be required to maintain battery state of charge at a satisfactory level.

1. If the engine stalls after the initial start, the ignition must be turned to the OFF position for at least five seconds and then to the ON position to recycle the manifold heaters.

NOTE:

Excessive white smoke and poor engine performance will result if manifold heaters are not recycled.

2. Heat generated by the manifold heaters dissipates rapidly in a cold engine. If more than two minutes pass between the time the “Wait To Start” telltale turns off and the engine is started, recycle the manifold heaters by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position for at least five seconds and then back ON.

3. If the vehicle is driven and vehicle speed exceeds

19 mph (31 km/h) before the manifold heater postheat (after start) cycle is complete, the manifold heaters will shut off.

4. If the engine is started before the “Wait To Start” telltale turns off, the preheat cycle will turn off.

5. If the engine is cranked for more than 10 seconds, the post-heat cycle will turn off.

NOTE:



• When a diesel engine is allowed to run out of fuel or the fuel gels at low temperatures, air is pulled into the fuel system. If your engine has run out of fuel, refer to

“Maintenance Procedures/Priming If The Engine Has

Run Out Of Fuel” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.

Starting Fluids

WARNING!

Starting fluids or flammable liquids must never be used in the Cummins® diesel engine (see Warning label). Never pour diesel fuel, flammable liquid, starting fluids (ether) into the air cleaner canister, air intake piping, or turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire and explosion causing serious personal injury and engine damage.

The engine is equipped with an automatic electric air preheating system. If the instructions in this manual are followed, the engine should start in all conditions.


WARNING!

• Do not leave children or animals inside parked

vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death.




access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

4


NORMAL OPERATION – DIESEL ENGINE

Observe the following when the engine is operating.

• All message center lights are off.

• Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is off.

• Engine oil pressure is above 10 psi (69 kPa) at idle.

• Voltmeter operation:

The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation at various engine temperatures. This cycling operation is caused by the post-heat cycle of the intake manifold heater system.

The number of cycles and the length of the cycling operation is controlled by the engine control module.

Post-heat operation can run for several minutes, and then the electrical system and voltmeter needle will stabilize.

The cycling action will cause temporary dimming of the headlamps, interior lamps, and also a noticeable reduction in blower motor speed.

Cold Weather Precautions

Operation in ambient temperature below 32°F (0°C) may require special considerations. The following charts suggest these options:

Fuel Operating Range

NOTE:

Use “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuels” ONLY.

*No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel should only be used where extended arctic conditions (-10°F/-23°C) exist.

NOTE:

• Use of Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel or

Number 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel results in a noticeable decrease in fuel economy.

• Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel is a blend of

Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur and Number 1 Ultra Low

Sulfur Diesel Fuels which reduces the temperature at which wax crystals form in fuel.

• The fuel grade should be clearly marked on the pump at the fuel station

• The engine requires the use of “Ultra Low Sulfur

Diesel Fuel”

. Use of incorrect fuel could result in engine and exhaust system damage. Refer to “Fuel

Requirements” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.

Engine Oil Usage

Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for the correct engine oil viscosity.


Winter Front Usage

A winter front or cold weather cover is to be used in ambient temperatures below -10°C, especially during extended idle conditions to reduce condensation build-up within engine crankcase. If a winter front or cold weather cover is to be used, a percentage of the total grille opening area must be left uncovered to provide sufficient air flow to the charge air cooler and automatic transmission oil cooler. The percentage of opening must be increased with the increasing ambient air temperature and/or engine load. If the cooling fan can be heard cycling frequently, increase the size of the opening in the winter front. A suitable cold weather cover is available from your MOPAR® dealer.

Battery Blanket Usage

A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as the battery temperature decreases to 0°F (-18°C). For the same decrease in temperature, the engine requires twice as much

4


power to crank at the same RPM. The use of 120 VAC powered battery blankets will greatly increase starting capability at low temperatures. Suitable battery blankets are available from your authorized MOPAR® dealer.

Engine Warm-Up

Avoid full throttle operation when the engine is cold.

When starting a cold engine, bring the engine up to operating speed slowly to allow the oil pressure to stabilize as the engine warms up.

NOTE:

High-speed, no-load running of a cold engine can result in excessive white smoke and poor engine performance. No-load engine speeds should be kept under 1,200 RPM during the warm-up period, especially in cold ambient temperature conditions.

Your vehicle is equipped with a turbo speed limiter, this feature limits the engine speed to 1,200 RPM when engine coolant temperatures are below 70°F (21°C). This feature is designed to protect the turbocharger from damage and will only operate in PARK or NEUTRAL.

If temperatures are below 32°F (0°C), operate the engine at moderate speeds for five minutes before full loads are applied.

NOTE:

• If ambient temperatures are low and the coolant temperature is below 180°F (82°C), the engine idle speed will slowly increase to 1,000 RPM after two minutes of idle, if the following conditions are met:

• foot is off brake pedal and throttle pedal

• automatic transmission is in PARK

• vehicle speed is zero

• Applying the throttle will cancel fast idle

• Operating the exhaust brake at idle will greatly improve warm up rate and will help keep the engine close to operating temperature during extended idle.

Engine Idling

Avoid prolonged idling, long periods of idling may be harmful to your engine because combustion chamber temperatures can drop so low that the fuel may not burn completely. Incomplete combustion allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings, engine valves, and injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter the crankcase, diluting the oil and causing rapid wear to the engine.

If the engine is allowed to idle, under some conditions the idle speed may increase to 900 RPM then return to normal idle speed. This is normal operation.

NOTE:

For EVIC messages related to the vehicle’s exhaust system, refer to “Maintenance Procedures/

Intervention Regeneration Strategy – EVIC Message Process Flow” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.


Idle-Up Feature – Automatic Transmission Only

The driver-controlled high idle speed feature will help increase cylinder temperatures and provide additional cab heat, however, excessive idling may still cause the exhaust aftertreatment system to not properly regenerate.

Extended periods of idle time should be avoided.

The Idle-Up feature uses the speed control switches to increase engine idle speed and quickly warm the vehicle’s interior.

1. With the transmission in PARK, the parking brake applied, and the engine running, press the speed control switch to the ON position, then press the SET switch.

4


2. The engine RPM will go up to 1100 RPM. To increase the RPM, press and hold the ACCEL/RESUME switch and the idle speed will increase to approximately

1500 RPM. To decrease the RPM, press and hold the

DECEL switch and the idle speed will decrease to approximately 1100 RPM.

3. To cancel the Idle–Up feature, either press the CAN-

CEL switch, press the ON/OFF switch, or press the brake pedal.

Stopping The Engine

Idle the engine a few minutes before routine shutdown.

After full load operation, idle the engine three to five minutes before shutting it down. This idle period will allow the lubricating oil and coolant to carry excess heat away from the combustion chamber, bearings, internal components, and turbocharger. This is especially important for turbocharged, charge air-cooled engines.

NOTE:

• During engine shut down on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, it is normal for the diesel engine to resonate heavily for a moment during engine shut off. When the engine is connected to a manual transmission, this resonance causes load gear rattle from the transmission. This is commonly referred to as

“shut down rattle.” The manufacturer recommends performing engine shut down with the clutch pedal pushed to the floor (clutch disengaged). When engine shut down is performed in this manner the rattle is reduced (not eliminated).

• Refer to the following chart for proper engine shutdown.

This feature can be enabled so that the truck will automatically shutdown when the truck has been idling for a set period of time when the engine is at operating temperature. Idle time can be set in 5 minute increments between 5 and 60 minutes. See your local authorized dealer to enable this feature.

Programmable Maximum Vehicle Speed

(Chassis Cab Only)

This feature allows the owner to set a maximum vehicle speed for the vehicle. The 3500 Series maximum vehicle speed can be set between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 87 mph

(140 km/h). The 4500/5500 Series maximum vehicle speed can be set between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 85 mph

(136 km/h). See your local authorized dealer to enable this feature.

NOTE:

DO NOT set the maximum vehicle speed to a value greater than what the vehicle tires are rated for.

4


Operating Precautions

Avoid Overheating The Engine

The temperature of the engine coolant (antifreeze) (a mixture of 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% water) must not exceed the normal range of the temperature gauge 240°F

(116°C) with a 16 psi (110 kPa) radiator cap.

Usually the engine coolant (antifreeze) temperature indicated during operation will be to the left of center in the normal range of the gauge.

Avoid Low Coolant Temperature Operation

Continual operation at low engine coolant (antifreeze) temperature below the normal range on the gauge 140°F

(60°C) can be harmful to the engine. Low engine coolant

(antifreeze) temperature can cause incomplete combustion which allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings and injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter the crankcase, diluting the lubricating oil and causing rapid wear to the engine.

Cooling System Tips – Automatic Transmission

To reduce potential for engine and transmission overheating in high ambient temperature conditions, take the following actions:

• City Driving —

When stopped, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and increase engine idle speed.

• Highway Driving —

Reduce your speed.

• Up Steep Hills —

Select a lower transmission gear.

• Air Conditioning —

Turn it off temporarily.

Do Not Operate The Engine With Low Oil

Pressure

When the engine is at normal operating temperature, the minimum oil pressures required are:

Idle 700 to 800 RPM

Full speed and load

10 psi (69 kPa)

30 psi (207 kPa)

CAUTION!

If oil pressure falls to less than normal readings, shut the engine off immediately. Failure to do so could result in immediate and severe engine damage.


Do Not Operate The Engine With Failed Parts

All engine failures give some warning before the parts fail. Be on the alert for changes in performance, sounds, and visual evidence that the engine requires service.

Some important clues are:

• engine misfiring or vibrating severely

• sudden loss of power

• unusual engine noises

• fuel, oil or coolant leaks

• sudden change, outside the normal operating range, in the engine operating temperature

• excessive smoke

• oil pressure drop

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the heater cord to a ground-fault interrupter protected 110–115 Volt

AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.

The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood to the right side and can be located just behind the grille near the headlamp.

NOTE:

The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized MOPAR® dealer.

The block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the coolant.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the cord before driving.

Damage to the 110–115 Volt electrical cord could cause electrocution.

NOTE:

The block heater will require 110 Volts AC and

6.5 Amps to activate the heater element.

Block Heater Usage

For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), engine block heater usage is recommended.

For ambient temperatures below –20°F (-29°C), engine block heater usage is required.


DIESEL EXHAUST BRAKE (ENGINE BRAKING)

The purpose of the exhaust brake (engine braking) feature is to supply negative (braking) torque from the engine. Typically, the engine braking is used for, but not limited to, vehicle towing applications where vehicle braking can be achieved by the internal engine power, thereby sparing the mechanical brakes of the vehicle.

Benefits of the exhaust brake are:

• vehicle driving control

• reduced brake fade

• longer brake life

• faster cab warm-up.

The exhaust brake feature will only function when the driver toggles it on by pushing the exhaust brake button until the

⬙Exhaust Brake Indicator⬙ is illuminated. Normal (Full Strength) exhaust brake mode is indicated by a yellow

⬙Exhaust Brake Indicator⬙.

Exhaust Brake Switch

Once the

⬙Exhaust Brake Indicator” is illuminated and the vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph (8 km/h); the exhaust brake will automatically operate when the driver removes pressure from the accelerator pedal. Exhaust braking is most effective when the engine RPM is higher.

4


The automatic transmission will downshift more aggressively in TOW/HAUL mode when the exhaust brake is enabled to increase brake performance.

CAUTION!

Use of aftermarket exhaust brakes is not recommended and could lead to engine damage

WARNING!

Do not use the exhaust brake feature when driving in icy or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle control, which may cause an accident possibly resulting in personal injury or death.

NOTE:

For optimum braking power it is recommended to use the exhaust brake while in TOW/HAUL mode.

The exhaust brake feature can also be used to reduce the engine warm up time. To use the exhaust brake as a warm-up device, the vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8 km/h), the

⬙Exhaust Brake Indicator⬙ must be on, and the coolant temperature must be below

180°F (82°C) and ambient temperature below 60°F (16°C).

Automatic Smart Exhaust Brake

Automatic Exhaust Brake technology delivers smoother, less aggressive exhaust braking characteristics during downhill descents. Although it can apply full exhaust braking force if needed, Automatic Exhaust Brake may not apply obvious braking if the vehicle speed is not increasing. Automatic Exhaust Brake is intended to maintain vehicle speed, while Full Exhaust Brake is intended to reduce vehicle speed.

Automatic Exhaust Brake can be enabled by pushing the exhaust brake button again anytime after the normal Full

Exhaust Brake has been turned on. The “Exhaust Brake

Indicator” in the EVIC will change from Yellow to Green when Automatic Exhaust Brake is enabled. Pushing the exhaust brake button again will toggle the exhaust brake mode to off.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the following precautions are not observed:

• Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has come to

a complete stop.

• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle

has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.

(Continued)


CAUTION! (Continued)

• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL,

or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.

• Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot

is firmly pressing on the brake pedal.

WARNING!

• Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure

those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into

PARK, turn the engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition (in a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™) in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

(Continued)


• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL

if the engine speed is higher than idle speed.

If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

NOTE:

You must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out of PARK.

Key Ignition Park Interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Interlock which requires the transmission to be in PARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the full OFF

(key removal) position. The key fob can only be removed from the ignition when the ignition is in the full OFF position, and the transmission is locked in PARK whenever the ignition switch is in the full OFF position.

Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System

This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift

Interlock System (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in PARK unless the brakes are applied. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the ignition switch must be turned to the

ON/RUN position (engine running or not) and the brake pedal must be pressed.


Six-Speed Automatic Transmission – If Equipped

Chassis Cab models (with automatic transmission) use the AS69RC transmission (which is equipped with a

Power Take-Off [PTO] access cover on the right side of the transmission case). Pickup models may use either the

AS69RC transmission, or the 68RFE transmission (which has no PTO access cover).

The transmission gear position display (located in the instrument cluster) indicates the transmission gear range.

The shift lever is mounted on the right side of the steering column. You must press the brake pedal to move the shift lever out of PARK (refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift

Interlock System” in this section). To drive, move the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.

Pull the shift lever toward you when shifting into RE-

VERSE or PARK, or when shifting out of PARK.

4


The electronically-controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).

Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.

Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting between these gears.

The transmission shift lever has only PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, and DRIVE shift positions. Manual downshifts can be made using the Electronic Range Select

(ERS) shift control (refer to

⬙Electronic Range Select (ERS)

Operation

⬙ in this section). Pressing the ERS (-/+) switches (on the shift lever) while in the DRIVE position will select the highest available transmission gear, and will display that gear in the instrument cluster as 6, 5, 4,

3, 2, 1.

Gear Ranges

DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or

NEUTRAL into another gear range.

NOTE:

After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating.

This is especially important when the engine is cold.

PARK

This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range.

Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range.

When parking on a level surface, you may shift the transmission into PARK first, and then apply the parking brake.

When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before shifting the transmission to PARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.

On four-wheel drive vehicles be sure that the transfer case is in a drive position.

WARNING!

• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the

parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

(Continued)



• Your vehicle could move and injure you and others

if it is not completely in PARK. Check by trying to move the shift lever out of PARK with the brake pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in

PARK before leaving the vehicle.

• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL

if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever. Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition (in a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™) in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

• Before moving the shift lever out of PARK, you

must turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON/RUN position, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift lever could result.

• DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain.

The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission into the PARK position:

• When shifting into PARK, pull the shift lever toward you and move it all the way counterclockwise until it stops.


• Release the shift lever and make sure it is fully seated in the PARK gate.

• Look at the transmission gear position display and verify that it indicates the PARK position.

• With brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever will not move out of PARK.

REVERSE

This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into

REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

NEUTRAL

Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK if you must leave the vehicle.

4


WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. You might lose control of the vehicle and have a collision.

CAUTION!

Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL can cause severe transmission damage. Refer to “Recreational

Towing” in “Starting And Operating” and “Towing A

Disabled Vehicle” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for further information.

DRIVE

This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and downshifts, and the best fuel economy. The transmission automatically upshifts through underdrive first, second, and third gears, direct fourth gear and overdrive fifth and sixth gears. The DRIVE position provides optimum driving characteristics under all normal operating conditions.

When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds, or while towing heavy trailers), use the Electronic Range

Select (ERS) shift control (refer to “Electronic Range

Select (ERS) Operation” in this section) to select a lower gear range. Under these conditions, using a lower gear range will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.

If the transmission temperature exceeds normal operating limits, the powertrain controller will modify the transmission shift schedule and expand the range of torque converter clutch engagement. This is done to prevent transmission damage due to overheating.

If the transmission becomes extremely hot or is in danger of overheating, the “Transmission Temperature Warning

Light” may illuminate and the transmission may operate differently until the transmission cools down.

NOTE:

Use caution when operating a heavily loaded vehicle at low speeds (such as towing a trailer up a steep grade, or in stop-and-go traffic) during hot weather. In these conditions, torque converter slip can impose a significant additional heat load on the cooling system.

Downshifting the transmission to the lowest possible gear (when climbing a grade), or shifting to NEUTRAL

(when stopped in heavy traffic) can help to reduce this excess heat generation.


During cold temperatures, transmission operation may be modified depending on engine and transmission temperature as well as vehicle speed. This feature improves warm up time of the engine and transmission to achieve maximum efficiency. Engagement of the torque converter clutch is inhibited until the transmission fluid is warm (see the “Note” under “Torque Converter

Clutch” in this section). On Pickup models with 68RFE transmission, top overdrive gear is also inhibited until the transmission fluid is warm, and during extremely cold temperatures (-16°F [-27°C] or below), operation may briefly be limited to first and direct gears only. On trucks with AS69RC transmission, fifth and sixth gears may be inhibited briefly on cold starts below 41°F (5°C), and during very cold temperatures (-4°F [-20°C] or below), operation may briefly be limited to third gear only. During this condition, the ability of the vehicle to accelerate under heavily loaded conditions may be reduced. In all cases, normal operation will resume once the transmission temperature has risen to a suitable level.

4


Transmission Limp Home Mode

Transmission function is monitored electronically for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, Transmission Limp Home

Mode is activated. In this mode, the transmission remains in fourth gear (for 68RFE transmission) or third gear (for

AS69RC transmission) regardless of which forward gear is selected. If an AS69RC-equipped truck enters Limp

Home Mode at highway speeds, it will initially engage fifth gear, until the vehicle slows to a speed where third gear can be engaged. PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to operate. The Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) may be illuminated. Limp Home Mode allows the vehicle to be driven to an authorized dealer for service without damaging the transmission.

In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the following steps:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Shift the transmission into PARK.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.

5. Restart the engine.

6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend that you visit your authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur.


If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer service is required.

Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation

The Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control allows the driver to limit the highest available gear when the shift lever is in the DRIVE position. For example, if you shift the transmission into 3 (third gear), the transmission will not shift above third gear, but will shift down into second and first gears normally.

You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode at any vehicle speed. When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operate automatically, shifting between all available gears. Tapping the ERS (-) switch will activate ERS mode, display the current gear in the instrument cluster, and maintain that gear as the top available gear. Once in ERS mode, tapping the ERS (-) or

(+) switch will change the top available gear.

Column Shift Lever

To exit ERS mode, simply press and hold the ERS (+) switch until “D” is once again displayed in the transmission gear position indicator in the instrument cluster.

4


WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

CAUTION!

When using ERS for engine braking while descending steep grades, be careful not to overspeed the engine. Apply the brakes as needed to prevent engine overspeed.

NOTE:

To select the proper gear position for maximum deceleration (engine braking), simply press and hold the

ERS (-) switch down. The transmission will shift to the range from which the vehicle can best be slowed down.

Overdrive Operation

The automatic transmission includes an electronically controlled Overdrive (fifth and sixth gears). The transmission will automatically shift into Overdrive if the following conditions are present:

• the shift lever is in the DRIVE position,

• the transmission fluid has reached an adequate temperature,

• the engine coolant has reached an adequate temperature,


• vehicle speed is sufficiently high, and

• the TOW/HAUL switch has not been activated.

When To Use TOW/HAUL Mode

When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch to activate TOW/

HAUL mode. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in TOW/HAUL mode, transmission upshifts are delayed, and the transmission will automatically downshift (for engine braking) when the throttle is closed and/or during steady braking maneuvers.

TOW/HAUL Switch

The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate that TOW/HAUL mode has been activated. Pressing the switch a second time restores normal operation. Normal operation is always the default at engine start-up. If TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the switch must be pressed each time the engine is started.

4


WARNING!

Do not use the “TOW/HAUL” feature when driving in icy or slippery conditions. The increased engine braking could cause the rear wheels to slide, and the vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle control, which could cause an accident possibly resulting in personal injury or death.

Torque Converter Clutch

A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been included in the automatic transmission on your vehicle.

A clutch within the torque converter engages automatically at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly different feeling or response during normal operation in the upper gears. When the vehicle speed drops or during some accelerations, the clutch automatically disengages.

NOTE:

• The torque converter clutch will not engage (and

68RFE-equipped trucks will not shift to sixth gear), until the transmission fluid and engine coolant are warm [usually after 1 to 3 miles (2 to 5 km) of driving].

Because the engine speed is higher when the torque converter clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmission is not shifting properly when cold. This is normal. Using the Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control, when the transmission is sufficiently warm, will demonstrate that the transmission is able to shift into and out of Overdrive.

• If the vehicle has not been driven for several days, the first few seconds of operation after shifting the transmission into gear may seem sluggish. This is due to the fluid partially draining from the torque converter into the transmission. This condition is normal and will not cause damage to the transmission. The torque converter will refill within five seconds after starting the engine.


MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

WARNING!

You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.

Shifting

CAUTION!

Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, or attempt to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged, as this will cause abnormal wear on the clutch.

NOTE:

During cold weather, you may experience increased effort in shifting until the transmission fluid warms up. This is normal.

Shift Pattern

Truck models with manual transmission are equipped with a clutch interlocking ignition system. The clutch pedal must be fully pressed to start the vehicle.

4


Fully press the clutch pedal before shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator pedal.

This transmission has a “creeper” first gear which should be used to start from a standing position when carrying a payload or towing a trailer. Damage to the clutch can result from starting in second or third gear with a loaded vehicle. An unloaded vehicle may be launched in second gear. Use each gear in numerical order – do not skip a gear.

NOTE:

When loaded, pulling a trailer or on a grade, the truck should always start in first gear and not skip gears.

Recommended Vehicle Shift Speeds

To utilize your manual transmission efficiently for both fuel economy and performance, it should be upshifted as listed in recommended shift speed chart. Shift at the vehicle speeds listed for acceleration. When heavily loaded or pulling a trailer these recommended up-shift speeds may not apply.

Downshifting

Moving from a high gear down to a lower gear is recommended to preserve brakes when driving down steep hills. In addition, downshifting at the right time provides better acceleration when you desire to resume speed. Downshift progressively. Do not skip gears to avoid overspeeding the engine and clutch.

CAUTION!

When descending a hill, be very careful to downshift one gear at a time to prevent overspeeding the engine which can cause valve damage, and/or clutch disc damage even if the clutch pedal is pressed.

Maximum Recommended Downshift Speeds

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow the recommended downshifting speeds may cause the engine to overspeed and/or damage the clutch disc even if the clutch pedal is pressed.

CAUTION!

If you skip a gear while downshifting or downshift at too high of a vehicle speed, these conditions may cause the engine to overspeed if too low of a gear is selected and the clutch pedal is released. Damage to the clutch and the transmission can result from skipping a gear while downshifting or downshifting at too high of a vehicle speed even if the clutch pedal is held pressed (i.e., not released).

Reverse Shifting

To shift into REVERSE (R), bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Press the clutch and pause briefly to allow the gear train to stop rotating. Beginning from the NEUTRAL

(N) position, move the shift lever in one quick smooth motion straight across and into the REVERSE (R) area

(the driver will feel a firm “click” as the shifter passes the

“knock-over”). Complete the shift by pulling the shift lever into REVERSE (R).

The “knock-over” prevents the driver from accidentally entering the REVERSE (R) shift area and warns the driver that they are about to shift the transmission into RE-

VERSE (R). Due to this feature, a slow shift to REVERSE

(R) can be perceived as a high shift effort.

To shift out of REVERSE bring the vehicle to a complete stop and press the clutch. Shifting out of REVERSE prior to a complete stop may cause high shift effort.

POWER TAKE OFF OPERATION — IF EQUIPPED

(CHASSIS CAB ONLY)

This vehicle when equipped with either the AS69RC automatic six-speed or G-56 manual six-speed transmissions, will allow for an aftermarket upfit with a transmission driven PTO (power take off). The customer will have


the ability to operate the PTO in either a “stationary” or

“mobile” mode. The vehicles will be factory set to the

“stationary” mode. To select ’mobile mode’ You will need to enter the commercial vehicle menu on the

EVIC screen and select mobile PTO mode. Details of the

PTO selection modes and further PTO information is available at the Ram Truck Bodybuilders web site.

www.rambodybuilder.com

AS69RC Six-Speed Automatic Transmission Only

The PTO drive gear (part of the AS69RC) operates at torque converter turbine speed. The turbine speed will be less than engine speed when the torque converter clutch is not engaged and will be same as engine speed when the torque converter clutch is engaged.

4


Stationary Mode

To operate the PTO in this mode the vehicle must meet the following conditions:

• Be in PARK position (vehicles equipped with automatic transmission)

• PTO switch has been activated

• Parking brake applied (vehicles equipped with manual transmission)

• Brake pedal must not be applied

• Vehicle engine must be running

• No vehicle, brake or clutch switch faults present

• PTO must be correctly installed using the vehicle provided circuits

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display a

⬙PTO On⬙ message for five seconds if the above conditions are met. Otherwise, the EVIC will display a message

⬙To Operate PTO Shift To Park⬙ indicating what operator action should be taken to engage the PTO mode.

The customer has the choice to operate the PTO by utilizing the cruise control switches or by utilizing a remote control (provided by the PTO supplier). To operate the feature using the cruise control switches, the customer must first activate the PTO switch which will turn on the PTO. In order to increase or decrease the engine idle speed, to optimize the PTO function, the

“RESUME/ACCEL” and “DECEL” cruise switches can be used respectively. To disengage PTO operation and return to “standard vehicle operation” simply toggle the

PTO switch to the OFF position.

The torque converter clutch (TCC) will automatically engage at engine speeds above 1,200 RPM (engine speed) in PTO stationary mode. Once engaged, the TCC will remain applied and will not disengage until the engine speed falls below 1,000 RPM. TCC engagement is desirable for certain types of PTO applications (Automatic

Transmission Only).

To operate the PTO via a remote switch, the customer must make sure the above conditions are met. It is vital for proper operation that the PTO and remote have been installed correctly, paying special attention to ensure the vehicle provided wiring has been connected properly.

This is the responsibility of the installer of the PTO and switches/remote system. It is the responsibility of the

PTO manufacturer to ensure that their electrical (switches and remote) system is compatible with the vehicle’s electrical architecture and software functionality.


NOTE:

Single set speed can be programmed via the

PTO menu on the EVIC screen. Further details are available at the Ram Truck Bodybuilders website.

www.rambodybuilder.com www.ramtrucks.com.

Mobile Mode

To operate the PTO in this mode the vehicle must meet the following conditions:

• Mobile mode is activated via the menu on the EVIC screen.

• (on/off) switch has been activated

• Vehicles with automatic transmission must be in PARK or DRIVE

• Parking brake must not be applied

• Brake pedal must not be applied

4


• No vehicle, brake or clutch switch faults present

• Vehicle engine must be running

• PTO must be correctly installed using the vehicle provided circuits

The customer may choose to use the PTO while the vehicle is moving. To do so, the PTO function must be activated prior to taking the vehicle out of PARK. This is accomplished by activating the upfitter-provided PTO on/off switch. At this point, the customer may place the vehicle in a forward or reverse gear and have PTO operation once the vehicle begins to move. To disengage

PTO operation and return to “standard vehicle operation” simply toggle the on/off switch to the OFF position.

NOTE:

For application specific information with respect to PTO and pump requirements and additional vehicle information (wiring schematics, preset idle values, engine speed limits, and vehicle hardware and software requirements) please refer to the Body Builders Guide by accessing www.rambodybuilder.com and choosing the appropriate links.

Power Take Off – Aftermarket Installation

If you did not order the PTO (Power Take Off) Prep Package from the factory and want to convert your vehicle, refer to the Body Builder’s Guide at www.rambodybuilder.com or contact the manufacturer directly at (866) 205–4102

(toll free).

ENGINE RUNAWAY

Diesel engine runaway is a rare condition affecting diesel engines, where the engine consumes its own lubrication oil and runs at higher and higher RPM until it overspeeds to a point where it destroys itself due to either mechanical failure or engine seizure through lack of lubrication.

WARNING!

In case of engine runaway due to flammable fumes from fuel spills or turbocharger oil leaks being sucked into the engine, do the following to help avoid personal injury and/or vehicle damage:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

2. Using a CO2 or dry chemical type fire extinguisher, direct the spray from the fire extinguisher into the grille on the passenger side so that the spray enters the engine air intake.

The inlet for the engine air intake is located behind the passenger side headlamp and receives air through the grille.


FUEL REQUIREMENTS

Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your vehicle. Federal law requires that you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel

(15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of Low

Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions control system. For most year-round service, No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM

(formerly known as the American Society for Testing and

Materials) specification D-975 Grade S15 will provide good performance. If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below 20°F or -7°C), or is required to operate at colder-than-normal conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection from fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filters.

4


WARNING!

Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions and hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.

CAUTION!


NOT START engine before you drain the water from the fuel filters to avoid engine damage. Refer to


Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water. To prevent fuel system trouble, drain the accumulated water from the fuel/water separator using the fuel/water separator drain provided on both fuel filters. If you buy good quality fuel and follow the cold weather advice above, fuel conditioners should not be required in your vehicle.

If available in your area, a high cetane “premium” diesel fuel may offer improved cold-starting and warm-up performance.

Fuel Specifications

The Cummins® diesel engine has been developed to take advantage of the high energy content and generally lower cost No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel or No. 2

Ultra Low Sulfur climatized diesel fuels. Experience has shown that it also operates on No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuels or other fuels within specification.

NOTE:

• A maximum blend of 20% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-6751 may be used with your Cummins® diesel engine.

• In addition, commercially available fuel additives are not necessary for the proper operation of your Cummins® diesel engine.

• No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel should only be used where extended arctic conditions (-10°F or -23°C) exist.

Bio-Diesel Fuel Requirements

Chassis Cab Models

A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D975 may be used with your Cummins diesel engine. If operation with Biodiesel blends greater than

5% but not greater than 20% (B6 B20) is desired, the truck


must first be reconfigured by an authorized Ram dealer and the provisions in the following section must be adhered to.

Pickup Models And Chassis Cab Models Ordered

With B20 Option

Your vehicle has been validated and approved for the use of Biodiesel in blends up to 20% (B20) provided that you comply with the requirements outlined below. It is important that you understand and comply with these requirements. Failure to comply with Oil Change requirements for vehicles operating on biodiesel blends up to

B20 will result in premature engine wear. Such wear is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources typically derived from animal fat, rapeseed oil (Rapeseed

Methyl Ester (RME) base), or soybean oil (Soy Methyl

Ester (SME or SOME) base). Biodiesel fuel has inherent

4


limitations which require that you understand and adhere to the following requirements if you use blends of Biodiesel greater then 5% but not greater than 20%

(B6-B20). There are no unique restrictions for the use of

B5. Use of blends greater than 20% is not approved. Use of blends greater than 20% can result in engine damage.

Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

Fuel Quality - Must Comply With ASTM

Standards

The quality of Biodiesel fuel may vary widely. Only fuel produced by a BQ9000 supplier to the following specifications may be blended to meet Biodiesel blend (B6 - B20) fuel meeting ASTM specification D-7467:

• Pretrodiesel fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975 and Biodiesel fuel (B100) meeting ASTM specification

D-6751.

Fuel Oxidation Stability - Must Use Fuel Within

Six Months Of Manufacture

Biodiesel fuel has poor oxidation stability which can result in long term storage problems. Fuel produced to approved ASTM standards, if stored properly, provides for protection against fuel oxidation for up to six months.

Fuel Water Separation - Must Use Mopar/Cummins

Approved Fuel Filter Elements

You must use Mopar/Cummins approved fuel filter elements in both your engine mounted filter and frame mounted filter.

Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water accelerates microbial growth. Your Mopar/Cummins filtration system is designed to provide adequate fuel water separation capabilities.

Bio-Diesel Fuel Properties – Low Ambient

Temperatures

Biodiesel fuel may gel or solidify at low ambient temperatures, which may pose problems for both storage and operation. Precautions can be necessary at low ambient temperatures, such as storing the fuel in a heated building or a heated storage tank, or using cold temperature additives.

Fuel In Oil Dilution - Must Adhere To Required

Oil Change Interval

Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed

5 percent. To ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must be maintained to the following schedule:

• Ram PickUp 2500/3500 Only –15,000 Miles*

• Ram 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab – 12,500 Miles*

(*unless otherwise notified with a oil service message)


CAUTION!

• Under no circumstances should oil change inter-

vals exceed 15,000 miles (24 000 km) pickup or

12,500 miles (20 000 km) chassis cab if operation occurs with greater than 5% biodiesel blends. Oil change intervals should not exceed 6 months in either case. Failure to comply with these Oil

Change requirements for vehicles operating on biodiesel blends up to B20 may result in premature engine wear. Such wear is not covered by the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

• B20 Biodiesel capable: The engine may suffer se-

vere damage if operated with concentrations of

Biodiesel higher than 20%.

WARNING!

A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is on a truck bed. You could be burned.

Always place fuel containers on the ground while filling.


Fuel Filler Cap

If the fuel filler cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.

CAUTION!

Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system.

WARNING!

• Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the

vehicle when the fuel filler cap is removed or the tank filled.

• Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is

running.

Avoid Using Contaminated Fuel

Fuel that is contaminated by water or dirt can cause severe damage to the engine fuel system. Proper maintenance of the engine fuel filter and fuel tank is essential.

Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for further information.

Bulk Fuel Storage – Diesel Fuel

If you store quantities of fuel, good maintenance of the stored fuel is also essential. Fuel contaminated with water will promote the growth of “microbes.” These microbes form “slime” that will clog fuel filters and lines.

Drain condensation from the supply tank and change the line filter on a regular basis.

NOTE:

When a diesel engine is allowed to run out of fuel, air is pulled into the fuel system.

If the vehicle will not start, refer to “Maintenance

Procedures/Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.

WARNING!

Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious injury or death.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Storage

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is considered a very stable product with a long shelf life. If DEF is kept in temperatures between 10° to 90°F (-12° to 32°C), it will last a minimum of one year.


DEF is subject to freezing at the lowest temperatures.

For example, DEF may freeze at temperatures at or below

12° F (-11° C). The system has been designed to operate in this environment.

NOTE:

When working with DEF, it is important to know that:

• Any containers or parts that come into contact with

DEF must be DEF compatible (plastic or stainless steel). Copper, brass, aluminum, iron or non-stainless steel should be avoided as they are subject to corrosion by DEF.

• If DEF is spilled, it should be wiped up completely.

4


Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid

The DEF gauge (located on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display) will display the level of

DEF remaining in the tank. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your

Instrument Panel” for further information.

• When the DEF gauge reads 75%, add approximately 2 gallons (7.5 Liters) to fill the DEF tank.

• When the DEF gauge reads 50%, add approximately 4 gallons (15 Liters) to fill the DEF tank.

• When the DEF gauge reads 25%, add approximately 6 gallons (23 Liters) to fill the DEF tank.

NOTE:

Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the amount of DEF that is used in your vehicle.

DEF Fill Procedure

NOTE:

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for the correct fluid type.

1. Remove cap from DEF tank (located on drivers side of the vehicle or in fuel door).

DEF Filler Cap Chassis Cab Models

Filling The DEF Tank


CAUTION!

• To avoid DEF spillage, and possible damage to the

DEF tank from overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.

• DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze below 12 de-

grees F (-11 degrees C). The DEF system is designed to work in temperatures below the DEF freezing point, however, if the tank is overfilled and freezes, the system could be damaged.

• When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately

with water or use an absorbent material to soak up and spills on the ground.

• Do not attempt to start your engine if DEF is

accidentally added to the diesel fuel tank as it can result in severe damage to your engine, including but not limited to failure of the fuel pump and injectors.

3. Stop filling the DEF tank immediately when any of the following happen: DEF stops flowing from the fill bottle into the DEF tank, DEF splashes out the filler neck, or a DEF pump nozzle automatically shuts off.

4. Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.

Filling the DEF tank in cold climates

DEF will freeze below 12°F (-11°C); however, your vehicle is equipped with an automatic preheating system which allows the DEF system to operate below 12°F

(-11°C). When the vehicle is not in operation for an extended period of time with temperatures at or below

12°F (-11°C), the DEF tank could freeze. If the tank is

OVERFILLED and freezes, it could be damaged, therefore DO NOT OVERFILL. To prevent overfilling of the

DEF tank if the EVIC indicates EXHAUST FLUID UN-

DER 1/2 FULL, you should only add a MAXIMUM of

2 gallons of DEF to the tank to prevent freeze damage due to overfilling. If the EVIC indicates EXHAUST

FLUID LEVEL OK, do not add DEF.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID

Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system in order to meet the very stringent diesel emissions standards required by the Environmental Protection Agency. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the first and only technology in decades to be as good for the environment as it is good for business and vehicle performance.

The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce levels of NOx

(oxides of nitrogen emitted from engines) that are harmful to our health and the environment to an almost near-zero level. Small quantities of Diesel Exhaust Fluid

(DEF) are injected into the exhaust upstream of a catalyst where, when vaporized, convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O), two natural components of the air we breathe. You can operate with the comfort that your vehicle is contributing to a cleaner, healthier world environment for this and generations to come.


System Overview

This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid

(DEF) injection system and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission requirements.

The DEF injection system consists of the following components:

• DEF tank

• DEF pump

• DEF injector

• Electronically-heated DEF lines

• DEF control module

• NOx sensors

• NH3 sensor

• Temperature sensors

• CR catalyst

4


The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst enable the achievement of diesel emissions requirements; while maintaining outstanding fuel economy, drivability, torque and power ratings.

Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for system messages and warnings.

NOTE:

• Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF injection system.

You may occasionally hear an audible clicking noise.

This is normal operation.

• The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge the DEF system. This is normal operation.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle.

Besides those maintenance items specified in the fixed maintenance schedule, there are other components which may require servicing or replacement in the future.

CAUTION!

• Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or per-

form repairs and service when necessary could result in more costly repairs, damage to other components or negatively impact vehicle performance. Immediately have potential malfunctions examined by an authorized Chrysler Group LLC dealership or qualified repair center.

(Continued)


• Your vehicle has been built with improved fluids

that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance intervals. Do not use chemical flushes in these components as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission, power steering or air conditioning.

Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty. If a flush is needed because of component malfunction, use only the specified fluid for the flushing procedure.


Engine Oil

Checking Oil Level

To assure proper lubrication of your vehicle’s engine, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals. The best time to check the oil level is before starting the engine after it has been parked overnight. When checking oil after operating the engine, first ensure the engine is at full operating temperature, then wait for 30 minutes after engine shutdown to check the oil.

1 — ADD Range

2 — Full Mark

3 — SAFE Range

Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Add oil only when the level on the dipstick is below the “ADD”

6


mark. The total capacity from the low mark to the high mark is 2 qts (1.9L).

CAUTION!

Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine.

Never operate the engine with oil level below the “ADD” mark or above the upper “SAFE” mark.

Change Engine Oil

Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.

Engine Oil Selection

For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only recommends engine oils that are API CJ-4 certified and meet the requirements of Chrysler Group LLC. Use MOPAR® or an equivalent oil meeting Chrysler Material Standard

MS-10902. Products meeting Cummins® CES 20081 may also be used. The identification of these engine oils are typically located on the back of the oil container.

American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil

Identification Symbol

This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacturer only recommends API Certified engine oils.

Oils with a high ash content may produce damaging deposits on cylinder head valves and/or aftertreatment system damage. A maximum sulfated ash content of 1.00

mass % is recommended for all oil used in the engine.

The same oil change interval is to be followed for synthetic oil as for petroleum based oil. Also, synthetic oil must meet the same performance specifications as petroleum oil.

CAUTION!

Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the chemicals can damage your engine. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade)

Use SAE 15W-40 MOPAR® or an equivalent engine oil meeting Chrysler Material Standard MS-10902. Products meeting Cummins CES 20081 may also be used. The identification of these engine oils is typically located on the back of the oil container.

In ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), SAE 5W-40

synthetic

engine oil that meets Chrysler Materials Standard MS-10902 and the API CJ-4 engine oil category is required.


CAUTION!

Failure to use SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil in ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) could result in severe engine damage.

6


Engine oil not designated by the Chrysler or Cummins®

Material Standards and API CJ-4 should not be used, as engine and exhaust system durability may be compromised. The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil filler cap location, refer to “Engine

Compartment” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.

Synthetic Engine Oils

You may use synthetic engine oils if the recommended oil quality requirements are met and the recommended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.

Materials Added To Engine Oil

The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.

Engine Oil Filter

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in

“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. The engine oil filter should be changed at every engine oil change.

Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters

Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact your authorized dealer, service station or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in your area.

Engine Air Cleaner Filter

CAUTION!

All air entering the engine intake must be filtered.

The abrasive particles in unfiltered air will cause rapid wear to engine components.


“SERVICE AIR FILTER” message will be displayed. The message may not be displayed in subsequent drive cycles if the same conditions are not met. The air filter element should be replaced within 250 miles (402 km) from the first time this message is displayed to ensure proper engine operation during all driving conditions.

The condition of the air cleaner filter is monitored by the

Engine Control Module. The “SERVICE AIR FILTER” message will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information

Center (EVIC) when service is required. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

The “SERVICE AIR FILTER” message could be displayed periodically. This is because engine air flow requirements change based on driving conditions. As the filter becomes more restrictive and air flow requirements increase the

CAUTION!

Driving with a restricted air filter can cause engine damage. Driving in dusty environments for extended periods will lead to rapid air filter plugging. Action should be taken as soon as the “SERVICE AIR

FILTER” message is displayed.

If the vehicle experiences a sudden loss of engine power while being driven in heavy snow or rain, or when plowing snow, and/or the “SERVICE AIR FILTER” message is displayed on the EVIC along with a chime that

6


repeats every 60 seconds, visually inspect the air filter for snow/ice build up or extreme water saturation. If the air filter is not damaged, remove all snow/ice and reinstall air filter. If the air filter is damaged, replace filter element.

NOTE:

The air filter housing contains a Mass Air Flow sensor. This sensor is critical to proper engine operation and component longevity. Any damage or modification to this sensor could result in major engine and/or exhaust aftertreatment damage. We recommend you use

MOPAR® brand parts.

Even though your vehicle is equipped with an Air Filter

Monitor, a visual inspection of the air cleaner filter element is recommended every 15,000 miles (24,000km) or 12 months – whichever occurs first. Under no circum-

stances should the air cleaner filter element exceed

30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, whichever comes first.

CAUTION!

Many aftermarket performance air filter elements do not adequately filter the air entering the engine. Use of such filters can severely damage your engine.

Draining Fuel/Water Separator Filter

There are two fuel filter assemblies. One is located on the driver’s side of the engine. The best access to this water drain valve is from under the hood. The second one is on the under body, located in front of the rear axle above the drive shaft on pick-up models. The Chassis Cab models second filter location is on the frame behind the front axle. The best access to this water drain valve is from under the vehicle.

CAUTION!

• Do not drain the fuel/water separator filters when

the engine is running.

• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces.

Drain the filters into an appropriate container.

If water is detected in the water separator while the engine is running, or while the ignition switch is in the

ON position, the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will illuminate and an audible chime will be heard five times.

At this point you should stop the engine and drain the water from both of the filters.

CAUTION!

If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO

NOT START the engine before you drain water from the fuel filters to avoid engine damage.


If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” comes on and a single chime is heard while you are driving, or with the ignition switch in the ON position, there may be a problem with your water separator wiring or sensor.

See your authorized dealer for service.

Upon proper draining of the water from both fuel filters, the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will remain illuminated for approximately 10 seconds. If the water was drained while the engine was running, the “Water In Fuel

Indicator Light” may remain on for approximately three minutes.

NOTE:

Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids from your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact an authorized dealer, service station, or government agency for advice on recycling programs and for where used fluids and filters can be properly disposed of in your area.

Drain the fuel/water separator filters when the “Water In

Fuel Indicator Light” is ON. Within 10 minutes of vehicle shutdown, turn the engine mounted filter drain valve

(located on the side of the filters) counterclockwise 1/4 turn, and turn the under body mounted filter drain valve

(located on the bottom of the filter) counterclock wise

1 full turn. Then turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and allow any accumulated water to drain.

Leave the drain valve open until all water and contaminants have been removed. When clean fuel is visible, close the drain valves by turning them fully clockwise, and turn the ignition switch to OFF.

If more than a couple ounces/milliliters of fuel have been drained, follow the directions for “Priming If The Engine

Has Run Out Of Fuel.”

Engine Mounted Fuel Filter Replacement

NOTE:

Using a fuel filter that does not meet the manufacturer’s filtration and water separating requirements can severely impact fuel system life and reliability.

NOTE:

The engine mounted filter housing is equipped with a No-Filter-No-Run (NFNR) feature. Engine will not run if:

1. No filter is installed.

2. Inferior/Non-approved filter is used. Use of OEM filter is required to ensure vehicle will run.

Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel

WARNING!

Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious injury or death.

1. Add a substantial amount of fuel to the tank, approximately 2 to 5 gal (8L to 19L).

2. Turn ignition switch to the start position to engage starter for one second, return ignition switch to run position. This will activate in tank fuel pump for approximately 15 seconds. Repeat this process twice.

3. Start the engine using the “Normal Starting” procedure. Refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting and

Operating” for further information.


CAUTION!

Do not engage the starter motor for more than 15 seconds at a time. Allow two minutes between the cranking intervals.

NOTE:

The engine may run rough until the air is forced from all the fuel lines.

WARNING!

Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions and be hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.

CAUTION!

Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the use of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel system.

NOTE:

• A maximum blend of 20% biodiesel, meeting ASTM specification D-6751 may be used with your Cummins® diesel engine. Use of biodiesel mixture in excess of 20% can negatively impact the fuel filter’s ability to separate water from the fuel, resulting in high pressure fuel system corrosion or damage.

• Ethanol blends are not recommended or approved for use with your Cummins® diesel engine.

• In addition, commercially available fuel additives are not necessary for the proper operation of your Cummins® diesel engine.

Intervention Regeneration Strategy – EVIC

Message Process Flow

The Cummins® diesel engine meets all EPA Heavy Duty

Diesel Engine Emissions Standards, resulting in the lowest emitting diesel engine ever produced.

To achieve these emissions standards, your vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust system. The engine and exhaust after-treatment system work together to achieve the EPA Heavy Duty Diesel Engine

Emissions Standards. These systems are seamlessly integrated into your vehicle and managed by the Cummins®

Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM manages engine combustion to allow the exhaust system’s catalyst to trap and burn Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input or interaction on your part.

Additionally, your vehicle has the ability to alert you to additional maintenance required on your truck or engine.

Refer to the following messages that may be displayed on your Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC):

WARNING!

A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.

Perform Service

Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set interval. To help remind you when this maintenance is due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display “Perform Service”. When the “Perform Service” message is displayed on the EVIC it is necessary to

have the emissions maintenance performed. Emissions maintenance may include replacing the Closed Crankcase

Ventilation (CCV) filter element. The procedure for clearing and resetting the

⬙Perform Service⬙ indicator message is located in the appropriate Service Information.

Exhaust System – Regeneration Required Now

⬙Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at Highway Speeds to Remedy

⬙ will be displayed on the Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC) if the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity. Under conditions of exclusive short duration and low speed driving cycles, your Cummins® diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment system may never reach the conditions required to remove the trapped PM. If this occurs, the “Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at Highway

Speeds to Remedy” message will be displayed in the

EVIC. If this message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this condition.


By simply driving your vehicle at highway speeds for as little as 45 minutes, you can remedy the condition in the particulate filter system and allow your Cummins® diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment system to remove the trapped PM and restore the system to normal operating condition.

CAUTION!

See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur soon with continued operation.

Exhaust Filter Full – Power Reduced See Dealer

The PCM derates the engine in order to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service is not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. In order to correct this condition it will be necessary to have your vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by the name of its active component, UREA—is a key component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations. DEF is a liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a catalyst to convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.



You can receive assistance in locating DEF in the United

States by calling 866-RAM-INFO (866-726-4636). In Canada call 1–800–465–2001 (English) or 1–800–387–9983 (French)

Maintenance-Free Batteries

The top of the maintenance-free batteries are permanently sealed. You will never have to add water, nor is periodic maintenance required.

NOTE:

Replacement batteries should both be of equal capacity to prevent damage to the vehicle’s charging system.

CAUTION!

It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the

(Continued)


CAUTION! (Continued) negative post. Battery posts are marked (+) positive and negative (-) and are identified on the battery case. Also, if a “fast charger” is used while the battery is in vehicle, disconnect both vehicle battery cables before connecting the charger to the battery. Do not use a “fast charger” to provide starting voltage.

WARNING!

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Always wash hands after handling the battery.

6


Battery Blanket Usage

A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as the battery temperature decreases to 0°F (-18°). For the same decrease in temperature, the engine requires twice as much power to crank at the same RPM. The use of 120 Volt AC powered battery blankets will greatly increase starting capability at low temperatures. Suitable battery blankets are available from your authorized MOPAR® dealer.

Cooling System

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator is hot.

Engine Coolant Checks

Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every

12 months (before the onset of freezing weather, where applicable). If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fresh coolant. Check the front of the A/C condenser (if equipped) or radiator for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently spraying water from a garden hose vertically down the face of the A/C condenser (if equipped) or the back of the radiator core.

Check the engine cooling system hoses for brittle rubber, cracking , tears, cuts and tightness of the connection at the coolant recovery bottle and radiator. Inspect the entire system for leaks.

With the engine at normal operating temperature (but not running), check the cooling system pressure cap for proper vacuum sealing by draining a small amount of

engine coolant (antifreeze) from the radiator drain cock.

The radiator drain cock is located in the lower radiator tank. If the cap is sealing properly, the engine coolant

(antifreeze) will begin to drain from the coolant expansion bottle. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRES-

SURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.

Cooling System – Drain, Flush, And Refill

If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals. Properly dispose of old engine coolant (antifreeze).


Selection Of Coolant




CAUTION!

• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than

specified Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection.

Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with

Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh

OAT coolant (conforming to MS-12106), by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

6

(Continued)



• Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine

coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.

• This vehicle has not been designed for use with

propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze).

Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is not recommended.

Adding Coolant

Your vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (OAT coolant conforming to MS-12106) that allows extended maintenance intervals. This engine coolant (antifreeze) can be used up to ten years or

150,000 miles (240,000 km) before replacement. To prevent reducing this extended maintenance period, it is important that you use the same engine coolant (OAT coolant conforming to MS-12106) throughout the life of your vehicle.

Please review these recommendations for using Organic

Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-12106. When adding engine coolant (antifreeze):

• We recommend using MOPAR® Antifreeze/Coolant

10 Year/150,000 Mile Formula OAT (Organic Additive

Technology) that meets the requirements of Chrysler

Material Standard MS-12106.

• Mix a minimum solution of 50% OAT engine coolant that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-12106 and distilled water. Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below

−34° F (−37° C) are anticipated.

• Use only high purity water such as distilled or deionized water when mixing the water/engine coolant

(antifreeze) solution. The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system.

Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the proper level of protection against freezing according to the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated.

NOTE:

Mixing engine coolant (antifreeze) types is not recommended and can result in cooling system damage.

If HOAT and OAT coolant are mixed in an emergency, have a authorized dealer drain, flush, and refill with OAT coolant (conforming to MS-12106) as soon as possible.


Cooling System Pressure Cap

The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to ensure that the engine coolant

(antifreeze) will return to the radiator from the coolant expansion bottle.

The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.

WARNING!

• The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the

cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution.

Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the pressure cap while the system is hot or under pressure.

6

(Continued)



• Do not use a pressure cap other than the one speci-

fied for your vehicle. Personal injury or engine damage may result.

Disposal Of Used Engine Coolant

Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by animals or children, do not store ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child or pet, seek emergency assistance immediately. Clean up any ground spills immediately.

Points To Remember

NOTE:

When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles/ kilometers of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front of the engine compartment. This is normally a result of moisture from rain, snow, or high humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vaporized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot engine coolant (antifreeze) to enter the radiator.

If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate.

• Do not overfill the coolant expansion bottle.

• Check the coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant expansion bottle. If engine coolant (antifreeze) needs to be added, the contents of the coolant expansion bottle must also be protected against freezing.

• If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) additions are required, the cooling system should be pressure tested for leaks.

• Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concentration at a minimum of 50% OAT coolant (conforming to MS-

12106) and distilled water for proper corrosion protection of your engine which contains aluminum components.

• Make sure that the coolant expansion bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed.

• Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean.

• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter operation. If replacement is ever necessary, install ONLY the correct type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze) performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.


Charge Air Cooler – Inter-Cooler

The charge air cooler is positioned below the radiator and the air conditioner condenser. Air enters the engine through the air cleaner and passes through the turbocharger, where it is pressurized. This pressurized air rapidly reaches high temperature. The air is then directed through a hose to the charge air cooler and through another hose to the intake manifold of the engine. The air entering the engine has been cooled by about 50° to 100°F

(10° to 38°C). This cooling process enables more efficient burning of fuel resulting in fewer emissions.

To guarantee optimum performance of the system, keep the surfaces of the charge air cooler, condenser and radiator clean and free of debris. Periodically check the hoses leading to and from the charge air cooler for cracks or loose clamps resulting in loss of pressure and reduced engine performance.

Brake System

Brake Master Cylinder – Brake Fluid Level Check

The fluid level of the master cylinder should be checked when performing under the hood service, or immediately if the “Brake System Warning Light” indicates system failure.

The brake master cylinder has a translucent plastic reservoir. On the outboard side of the reservoir, there is a

“MAX” mark and an “MIN” mark. The fluid level must be kept within these two marks. Do not add fluid above the full mark because leakage may occur at the cap.

With disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake linings wear. However, an unexpected drop in fluid level may be caused by a leak and a system check should be conducted.



WARNING!

• Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake

fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine

Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid can severely damage your brake system and/or impair its performance. The proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle is also identified on the original factory installed hydraulic master cylinder reservoir.

(Continued)


• To avoid contamination from foreign matter or

moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container. Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the air resulting in a lower boiling point. This may cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake failure.

This could result in a accident.

• Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in

spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts, causing the brake fluid to catch fire. Brake fluid can also damage painted and vinyl surfaces, care should be taken to avoid its contact with these surfaces.



• Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate

the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure.

This could result in an accident.

Clutch Hydraulic System

The clutch hydraulic system is a sealed maintenance-free system. In the event of leakage or other malfunction, the system must be replaced.

Selection of Lubricant


“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fluid specifications.

Fluid Level Check

This fluid level can be checked by removing the filler plug. The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the filler plug hole with the vehicle in a level position.

Manual Transmission – If Equipped



“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fluid specifications.


The fluid level can be checked by removing the filler plug. If the level of the lubricant is more than 1/2 in

(12 mm) below the bottom of the filler hole while the vehicle is on level ground, enough lubricant should be added to bring the level to 1/4 in (6 mm) below the bottom of the filler hole.

Automatic Transmission – If Equipped


It is important to use the proper transmission fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance and life. Use only the manufacturer’s specified transmission fluid.

Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section for fluid specifications. It is important to maintain the transmission fluid at the correct level using the recommended fluid.

No chemical flushes should be used in any transmission; only the approved lubricant should be used.


CAUTION!

Recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality, and will require more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to “Fluids,

Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section for fluid specifications.

CAUTION!

Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as the chemicals can damage your transmission components. Such damage is not covered by the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Special Additives

The manufacturer strongly recommends against using any special additives in the transmission. Automatic

Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives. Therefore, do not add any fluid additives to the transmission. The only exception to this policy is the use of special dyes for diagnosing fluid leaks. Avoid using transmission sealers as they may adversely affect seals.


It is best to check the fluid level when the transmission is at normal operating temperature (170-180°F / 77-82°C for

68RFE transmission, or 158-176°F / 70-80°C for AS69RC transmission). This normally occurs after at least 15 miles

(25 km) of driving. At normal operating temperature the fluid cannot be held comfortably between the fingertips.

You can read the transmission sump temperature in the

EVIC display (see Electronic Vehicle Information Center

[EVIC] for further information).

6


Use the following procedure to check the transmission fluid level properly:

1. Monitor the transmission temperature using the EVIC display, and operate the vehicle as required to reach the normal operating temperature.

2. Park the vehicle on level ground.

3. Run the engine at normal idle speed for at least

60 seconds, and leave the engine running for the rest of this procedure.

4. Fully apply the parking brake and press the brake pedal.

5. Place the shift lever momentarily into each gear position (allowing time for the transmission to fully engage in each position), ending with the transmission in

PARK.

6. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it until seated.

7. Remove the dipstick again and note the fluid level on both sides. The fluid level reading is only valid if there is a solid coating of oil on both sides of the dipstick.

Note that the holes in the dipstick will be full of fluid if the actual level is at or above the hole. The fluid level should be between the “HOT” (upper) reference holes on the dipstick at normal operating temperature. If the fluid level is low, add fluid through the dipstick tube to bring it to the proper level. Do not overfill. Use

ONLY the recommended fluid (see

⬙Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts

⬙ for fluid specifications).

After adding any quantity of oil through the dipstick tube, wait a minimum of two minutes for the oil to fully drain into the transmission before rechecking the fluid level.

NOTE:

If it is necessary to check the transmission below the operating temperature, the fluid level should be between the two “COLD” (lower) holes on the dipstick with the fluid at 60-70°F / 16-21°C for 68RFE transmission, or 68-86°F / 20-30°C for AS69RC transmission. Only use the COLD region of the dipstick as a rough reference when setting the fluid level after a transmission service or fluid change. Re-check the fluid level, and adjust as required, once the transmission reaches normal operating temperature.

CAUTION!

If the fluid temperature is below 50°F (10°C) it may not register on the dipstick. Do not add fluid until the temperature is elevated enough to produce an accurate reading. Run the engine at idle, in PARK, to warm the fluid.


8. Check for leaks. Release the parking brake.

NOTE:

To prevent dirt and water from entering the transmission after checking or replenishing fluid, make sure that the dipstick cap is properly reseated. It is normal for the dipstick cap to spring back slightly from its fully seated position, as long as its seal remains engaged in the dipstick tube.

Fluid And Filter Change


In addition, change the fluid and filter(s) if the fluid becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if the transmission is disassembled for any reason.

“Oil Change Due” on your Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). The oil change reminder will remind the owner to change the engine oil every 15,000 miles or

500 hours, whichever comes first, except for the Chassis

Cab models that are using B20 biodiesel, which are 12,500

miles or 400 hours, whichever comes first. Failure to change the engine oil per the maintenance schedule can result in internal engine damage.

For information on resetting the Oil Change Indicator message, refer to “Oil Change Due” under “Electronic

Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/EVIC Warning

Lights” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

Replace the engine oil and oil filter every 15,000 miles

(24 000 km) or six months, or sooner if prompted by the oil change indicator system. Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 15,000 miles

(24 000 km) or six months, whichever comes first.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 149

NOTE:

• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals

exceed 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or six months or

500 Hours, whichever comes first.

• Replace the engine oil and oil filter every 12,500 miles

(20 000 km) when running B20 fuel (Chassis Cab Only).

If Chassis Cab models are operated with greater than 5% levels of Biodiesel, the oil change interval must not exceed 12,500 miles (20 000 km) under any circumstances.

See the Fuel Requirements section for more information regarding operation of Chassis Cab models configured for use with Biodiesel blend(B6-B20) fuel meeting ASTM specification D-7467.

INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING EQUIPMENT

Special design considerations are incorporated into this vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone equipment must be installed properly by trained personnel.

The following must be observed during installation.

The positive power connection should be made directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.

The negative power connection should be made to body sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.

This connection should not be fused.

Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so equipped.

The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use only fully shielded coaxial cable.

Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).

Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than normal may require special precautions.

All installations should be checked for possible interference between the communications equipment and the vehicle’s electronic systems.
